"I've got my focus on the New York Pro," says Juan Morel

Training has been going well for the past two weeks. I have been really hyped in the gym while training; getting really good workouts. I've got my focus on the New York Pro!! My weight is currently at 265. I've got 15 more pounds to hit my goal weight before I start dieting. I'm really hoping I can get to that weight. I been stuffing myself everyday trying to put on those lbs . . . from eating McDonalds almost daily to eating baked goods that my girlfriend has been making me, and of course eating tons of ice cream!!

Last weekend was awesome, I had my little baby girl. I took her with me to the gym Saturday morning... she tried every piece of cardio equipment! Found she loves cardio but not like she needs it! LOL. That afternoon I took her ice skating at Bryant park, I even ice skated with her, and NO I did not fall lol! Had a few close calls but I made it without a single fall! She had a blast, met new friends . . .she did not want to leave when it was time to go!! But we had to go fill our bellies with some food! We had a great day. Sunday was low key with eating breakfast with my daughter and spending the day with her. And of course my mom's cooking... Got to grow!

This past Saturday a few of my friends met at the gym and we a got a few workouts in. My girlfriend and a few friends met us after we worked out...We went to eat BURGERS at a diner on the lower east side called silver spurs!! After we ate we took the train to 42nd Street, times square, to coldstone! Oh my we were a sight to see! Four bodybuilders and 2 physique and a fitness girl all riding the train... We took up half a car! We went to coldstone and we ALL ate ice cream even my friend Akim who really hates ice-cream got one. (He always gets shakes, I was very impressed.) My friend Chris and I even went for seconds! This Sunday I was able to enjoy my mom's amazing cooking and spend time with my family. I'm enjoying my off season of spending some quality time with my friends and family.

Juan has an amazing appetite & he'll grow very rapidly. I won't be surprised if he starts his diet around the 285-290 mark. Plus, he's a strong guy in the gym. His muscle should be harder, denser & thicker. Also, lets see the new improvements he makes.
